Pennsylvania
"Ministers are forbidden from performing marriages when either the bride or groom is drunk."
Yup, we are dipping back into Pennsylvania for the sixth time, but for good reason. This state is chock full of stupid laws and this one is pretty stupid. Today's law kind of makes sense except for one little detail - this law says that a minister cannot perform a marriage when the bride is drunk. The groom being intoxicated for a wedding is understandable. He is about to take a leap in his relationship that he probably didn't want to take, but the bride has been waiting for this day since she was a little girl. On top of that, the bride takes hours to get ready and doesn't have the time to drink. Meanwhile, the groom is surrounded by a bunch of guys who have probably been partying hard for the past couple of days and having a couple more beers won't hurt. So, why did they include the bride in this law? Was it because they felt they should cover all of their bases and close a loophole? Or do Pennsylvanian women hate getting married as much as the men? Someone answer me these questions.
